Overview

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune & Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Singleplayer

The AK-47 is a basic assault rifle. It holds less ammunition than the M4 (starting ammo capacities of 30 and 32 rounds respectively), and it is less accurate than both the M4 and the FAL, however it is more powerful than both. It is best used at short-medium range, but can also be decent at long range.

Multiplayer

In the multiplayer component of Among Thieves, this weapon is the starting primary weapon in standard-rules online multiplayer matches, thus making it the most used weapon in multiplayer. Found on all maps in various locations. It has high damage power but low range and accuracy. Recoil is high so is best suited to close range engagements.

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

The AK-47 in Uncharted 3

The AK-47 is in both the singleplayer and multiplayer modes of Drake's Deception. Seen in almost all videos but the sound is different (as usual) and the gun is easier to control as in previous installments in the game franchise.

Multiplayer

The recoil has been lowered slightly from Among Thieves. It is one of the first weapons unlocked and available from the start, the other being the G-MAL.

Tips

The AK is a very versatile weapon useful in many hands.

Many players prefer it over the AK's opposite, the M9. Though both weapons are on equal footing, the AK is easily superior in the hands of players with better accuracy, while the M9 is superior in strafe aiming and blindfire.

Useful in most ranges of fire fights, the AK can overpower many weapons in its field of range.

Avoid use of blindfire against the M9 or KAL-7. When countered by these weapons, keep a safe distance (the AK may be able to overpower the M9 in blindfire).

The AK is also a strong support weapon and can deal very heavy damage with only a few shots.

It is not very well used, as its appeal is paltry compared to the M9. However, players who find the M9 hard to control or inaccurate often stick with the AK as an assault weapon.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

Trivia

The gun's firing sound is different in all four games.

The AK-47 Blindfire accuracy mod gives it a folding skeletal stock, which is a stock made up of only a frame but with nothing filled in.

The AK-47 is one of four weapons (Wes-44, Mk-NDI, AK-47 and RPG-7) to appear in all four games. (While the RPG is not obtainable in Drake's Fortune, one of Eddy's pirates uses it in Chapter 1. While the Wes-44 is unobtainable in A Thief's End, it is Sully's main weapon throughout the game.)

The AK-47 has Moderate recoil and generous damage very good for close to medium distance encounters.

In the Uncharted 3 Beta, a modification could be attached to the gun that increased the rate of fire. However, this feature was removed from the final game.

The Uncharted 3 AK-47 has a smaller appearance than in the previous games. It only appears between Chapters 6 through 11. It can easily be mistaken as the KAL-7, which is actually a variant of the AK-47 and is the same performance wise.

The AK-47 in Uncharted 3 multiplayer had its recoil reduced by 10% in Patch 1.09.

The AK-47 is even older than the Wes-44, as it was released in 1947.

In Uncharted 3's campaign, the AK has a higher rate of fire than in multiplayer, about that of the M9.

The reload sound of the AK-47 in Uncharted 3 is the only sound out of all previous installments to be carried over to Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.
